Sometimes, love comes knocking in a suit and scarred hands, and changes everything…
Ayla Thorne, a twenty-two-year-old college graduate, is weighed down by debt and the constant worry of her father’s mounting medical bills. To keep her life afloat, she works part-time at a small coffee shop—and at the Morettis’, a family whose wealth and influence both fascinates and intimidates her.
Everything changes the moment she meets Cassian Moretti, heir to the powerful Moretti dynasty.
He’s back in town for one reason only: revenge.
And in the blink of an eye, Ayla finds herself swept into a storm of emotions she never expected—love, heartbreak, loss, survival… and love again.
As hidden truths come to light, Ayla uncovers the real story about her mother and a complicated connection to Lorenzo Vellani, a man whose presence shakes her heart and forces her to question everything she thought she knew about family, loyalty, and desire.
When a quiet, dangerous obsession with a Mafia boss starts to feel like love, Ayla Thorne faces a question she never imagined she’d have to answer: does she run from it—or does she finally embrace the darkness pulling her in?
Hello Author-San I have come back with a fervor to make Ren X Melissa happen. First because there is not a lot of character building for the original book people, other than Amanda, you can easily add back story to Melissa. You could probably make Melissa a very light sadodere and say that in the original book she was like that to Kevin. Then you could probably change it to Ren then talk about how she fell for Ren and was hiding it through her insults. It is also slightly there because when Ren was talking to Melissa the reader could sense some jealousy by Amanda (not sure if you did it intentionally) but it could be a very good set up. Second it would be interesting for the plot, as everybody would be expecting Ren X Amanda but you could mix it up and make it Ren X Melissa. I am pretty sure that most of the readers of the novel prefer Melissa over Amanda. Finally, Ren should be with Melissa because Melissa needs some more screen time and in chapter 338 she is very sussy. Btw I am a Melissa supremacist.
